Samson’s audio products have cropped up a few times on my site and for good reason, they represent good value for money. I reviewed the Zoom H1 recently and found the sound quality to be very good but the $99 price tag left the build quality a little to be desired. The Zoom H4N has been mentioned several times as well and has become a somewhat ubiquitous accessory for DSLR budget film making with it’s 4 channel control. Samson have today updated their H2 model to a new H2N which looks to be a great middle lineup addition. Priced at $199 and set to go on sale in September it seems as though this would stand up to a little more wear ad tear than the budget H1. The H2N has a confusing array of 5 on-board microphones and many modes to implement them. Probably best to watch the video below to understand a little more!
